As some of you might know, Dodgeball Ottawa is now a not-for-profit organization. As a not-for-profit, the members of Dodgeball Ottawa “ARE” Dodgeball Ottawa. This means that we work for the community and want to grow the community. Dodgeball Ottawa’s main mandate is to promote the interest of dodgeball as a sport and organize leagues and events for people to participant in the sport.

So what changes?

In short, nothing and everything! We will continue to build our community and continue offering dodgeball events and leagues for players in Ottawa. What does change is that we will now have an official Board of Directors and committees for members to join. Every player in DBO currently have a Player Membership (Class A Membership). But you now have a chance to join in and help grow DBO by joining committees or the Board. To do this, you will need a Voting Membership (Class B Membership) which costs $25. Details about the memberships are located below. As are the 3 new committees we are starting.
